The Session >> Discussions >> speaking of noodling...
As I was noodling aimlessly on the old banjo (in the privacy of my own home) this tune emerged from somewhere:
X:1 T:unknown M:2/4 R: K:Amix e2|a2e2|c2de|fedc|B2Bc|dedc|Bcdf|edcB|A2e2| |a2e2|c2de|fedc|B2Bc|dedc|dedc|B2e2|A4|A2:|| Bc|dBdB|c2Bc|dddB|c2Bc|dede|c2Bc|dedB|cdef| |g4|g2fg|agfg|edce|d4|d2fg|agfg|edcB|c4| c2fg|agfg|edcd|B4|B4|cecB|cecB|dedc|B2e2|A4|A2||
I'm sure the notation is screwed up in countless ways but Does anyone know A: what this is, B: where it's recorded, C:how it really goes?
It sounds Galician maybe? or Breton? but really I have no idea how it got in my head!

It does sound Galician-ish. Been listening to Susane Seivane?

Sounds similar to Aires de Pontevedra which made an appearance on one of the Lunasa recordings and maybe an old Kips Bay Ceili Band recording.
Here's how I have it:

I have an MP3 of it played by Carlos Nunez, the Galician piper. And jolly good it is too.

Yup, that's it! Thanks guys!
PHEW! Thank goodness this isn't another noodling thread - we've had oodles of noodles recently.....
